Want a cool custom look for your iPad? 🥰

Hey everyone! So, you've mastered the basic aura wallpaper with Procreate, right? I wanted to share some of my personal tips and tricks to take your custom iPad backgrounds to the next level. I've been obsessed with these aesthetic wallpapers because they just bring such a calm, personalized vibe to my device, and making them myself is so satisfying! First off, let's talk about colors. The original tutorial gives you the basics, but have you ever thought about really specific palettes? For instance, I noticed many of you are searching for 'sage green aura wallpaper,' and I totally get it! Sage green is incredibly soothing. To create that perfect sage green aura, I usually start with a light, muted sage green as my base, then layer a slightly darker, perhaps more olive-toned green, and blend with a soft cream or even a very pale lilac. Don't be afraid to experiment with complementary colors that still maintain that tranquil feel. Think about the mood you want to evoke. Warm tones for energy, cool tones for calm. Now, let's dive deeper into Procreate's amazing tools, many of which were mentioned in the tutorial's steps, like the ones for adjustments. After you've drawn your initial shapes, the key is in the blending. While a simple Gaussian Blur works wonders for a soft, dreamy look, don't stop there! I often apply the Gaussian Blur multiple times, or adjust the intensity slowly, layer by layer, to get that perfect gradient. Sometimes, I'll even duplicate a blurry layer and apply a slightly different blur radius to add depth. For that popular grainy texture, the tutorial rightly points out using Noise. I love playing with the 'Noise' filter after blurring. Just a little bit, maybe around 5-10%, can transform a flat-looking aura into something more organic and tactile, almost like a vintage photograph. It really adds that extra touch of sophistication to your 'achtergrond iPad' (iPad background). And have you explored the other adjustment tools? I often use Liquify to gently push and pull the colors, creating more fluid, organic shapes that are unique every time. It's fantastic for making your aura feel truly alive and flowing. If you want a glowing effect, especially around lighter colors, try adding a touch of Bloom. This can make your wallpaper appear as if it's radiating light, which is super cool for a bright, energetic aura. My workflow usually involves creating several layers of shapes with different colors, applying Gaussian Blur to each, merging them, and then using Liquify or other distortions to blend them seamlessly. Finally, I add the Noise for texture. Don't be afraid to duplicate your blended aura layer, experiment with different blend modes (like 'Overlay' or 'Soft Light'), and adjust the opacity to see what unique effects you can achieve. Once you're happy with your creation, remember to export it in high resolution. Then, simply go to your iPad's Settings -> Wallpaper -> Choose a New Wallpaper, and select your masterpiece from your photos. It’s so rewarding to see your own custom design as your daily background! I hope these extra tips help you create even more stunning and personalized aura wallpapers for your iPad!
